Max was bouncing this morning.

I am measuring 1/4 inch bigger then last week. I guess this is good that I am not moving up inches at a time! So I am now 36.75 inches. I think it might be safe to assume that next week I will be 37 inches but that is just a guess on my part. 🙂

We are naming the baby Nathaniel Harlow. You may remember when Max was born I was actually more worried about my maternal grandfather at the time. He was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 2 weeks prior. He ended up dying when Max was 5 weeks 5 days old. His name was Harlow. So Nathaniel is going to be named after his great grandfather.

My grandmother told me a few stories about how grandpa was as a child. I guess great grandma had her hands full with him. They lived on a farm and grandpa would go running out in the tall grass and they wouldn’t be able to find them. Then they “stopped” looking for him and would watch for the grass to move unexpectedly and then were able to find him. I guess it got so bad that great grandma finally had to tie him to the clothesline so he could run back and forth between the 2 polls without getting into trouble. Clearly Max has some of his great grandfather in him! Ha ha!

Tuesday I have my first OB visit. It should be interesting. I am going in complete with a list of things that I want for my birth of Nathaniel provided I get to term. We will have to see what gets vetoed.
